Immediately following their RI premiere production of Aziza Barnes’s BLKS and the World Premiere of Aaron Blanck’s Hanukkah Schmanukkah, Burbage Theatre Co continues their 12th Season with Playhouse Creatures by April De Angelis, directed by MJ Daly. This marks Burbage’s second co-production with WomensWork Theatre Collaborative, following last year’s highly acclaimed production of The Oldest Profession by Paula Vogel. Playhouse Creatures will be presented for 13 performances from February 1 through February 25 at Burbage Theatre Co’s Wendy Overly Studio Theatre.

PLAYHOUSE CREATURES

In partnership with WomensWork Theatre Collaborative

By April De Angelis

(February 1 – 25 )

“An immense talent and witty sensitive dialogue…Thoroughly entertaining.” — Tribune

The year is 1669 a bawdy and troublesome time. Theaters have just reopened after seventeen years of Puritan suppression. There is a surge in dramatic writing and the first English actresses appear on stage. Playhouse Creatures focuses on five of the most famous (Nell Gwyn, Elizabeth Farley, Rebecca Marshall, Doll Common and Mary Betterton) to provide a moving and often comic account of the precarious lives of Restoration actresses.

“Flesh and blood heroines…move and inspire…a few more female role models stamped firmly on your heart.” — Time Out New York

“With delicious absurd extracts from the heroic repertory and frantic dressing room scenes, the prevailing tone is comic but you are not allowed to forget the gutter waiting to reclaim these glittering figures.” — The Independent

Rhode Island FC steals a point from Tampa Bay; Here’s how it happened

Rhode Island FC steals a point from Tampa Bay; Here’s how it happened

PAWTUCKET — JJ Williams finally had his space and rose to the opportunity.

The Rhode Island FC striker, deep in the attacking zone, came back to a cross and headed Nick Scardina’s service to the near post to salvage the night for Rhode Island. Williams’ goal landed in the 86^th minute to draw Tampa Bay Rowdies, 1-1, in rain-soaked Pawtucket.

It’s the third draw in USL Championship play for Rhode Island at Centreville Bank Stadium this season. RIFC was turning in a familiar performance before snagging the tie against the league-leading Rowdies as Williams supplied his third regular-season goal of the year. The draw is the first time RIFC has earned a result after the opposition opened the scoring since its 1-1 tie vs. Birmingham Legion FC on July 5, 2025.

Rhode Island now travels to USL League One side Portland Hearts of Pine for its second game of the 2026 Prinx Tires USL Cup group stage on Saturday, May 16 at 4 p.m. The club returns to Pawtucket on May 23 against Brooklyn FC.

“All night they made it tough because they were doubling,” Williams said of Tampa Bay. “And wherever I went to, they were going contact first, especially in this league with no [Video Assistant Referee] … but on that one, the ball was so good that they spun around, and then I was able to make good contact.”

Rhode Island had a string of missed chances in the first 15 minutes that fed into a goal for Tampa Bay and then a triple substitution in the second half that provided little spark. Max Schneider’s cross from right of the box found Pedro Dolabella at the far post for a clinical header in the 29^th minute in front of an announced attendance of 6,790.

The game’s first score came just 10 minutes after attempts from Hugo Bacharach and Jojea Kwizera were saved and Williams sailed an open shot past the bar.

“We tried to correct some of those things that we struggled with last week,” Williams said. “Getting to the ball, making tackles, making a stick, I think that we weren’t as clean in possession as we would have been, especially as we won the ball and played forward. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half where we could have seen more chances, but we did well to weather the storm early and create some. But for me, I [have] to bury that first one.”

Rhode Island creates plenty of chances — it is tied for fourth with 112 attempts — but has just 12 goals this season. If it had finished one of the early chances against Tampa Bay, it would’ve shifted the tenor of the match and forced the visitors to play outside of its form. But the final scoring sequence is still missing with the summer months coming soon.

“Happy with the spirit, happy with the effort, happy with the fight,” RIFC coach Khano Smith said. “You’ve seen that a lot with our team. They just fought to the end, never gave up, kept pushing. Ultimately, it’s two more points dropped at home, and we need to find a way to stop doing that. We need to be ruthless – just ruthless in front of the goal.”
